G'day Bob,
I just went to that site and got the same guff, then on my second try I didn't get the same STOP page,
and everything went though.
Interesting?

I have bought a couple of things off there ... because very occasionally they have a really good price. Reading the above comments though, maybe the good prices were a mistake!!
Anyway, my purchases went through. I don't like the process because it is really impersonal (e.g. there is no phone number if it all turns pear shaped etc.), which is concerning if you are spending a lot of money.
I generally use it for estimating materials prices because on average it is slightly more expensive than the other places I use, so you know your budget should have a bit of margin in it!
Like I said, they have been fine the few times I have used them up to ~$4000 purchases but I can understand the above points too.
